At that moment, I could onlyply and said, "Okay, I agree."


    "First, let her put Grandma down. If she doesn''t, not only will you get nothing, but you''ll also end up in prison."


    Ben looked at Simone. "Let Mom go now."Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Simone, wary, scanned the hospital room and instructed, "Get these bodyguards out."


    Frank raised his hand.


    Once the bodyguards exited the room, Simone said, "Move my daughter closer to me!"


    Hearing this, n, following Frank''s gesture, went over and ced Bethany on the bed near the window. After a quick look, he turned and gave Frank a signal. "Frank."


    Zachary entered and handed a brown paper bag to Frank.


    He nced briefly at Jane but didn''t linger.


    Frank gave the paper bag to Ben, who quickly took it and examined it carefully, confirming it twice before signing.


    Then he immediately walked toward Simone.


    However, he was stopped by n.


    "Put Grandma down," Frank said coldly.


    But Simone pulled out a syringe, its cold, sharp needle pressed against Grandma''s neck.


    Seeing this, my heart raced instantly.


    Frank held my hand, his brows not moving even slightly, and said, "The Shaw family is here. Even if you take Grandma away now, you''re still in Jeswood." His words seemed to be a question with no rise or fall in tone, but Simone was not a foo. She could hear


    the threat in his words.


    In Jeswood, Frank''s word wasw.


    However, since she had achieved her goal and had not yet enjoyed it, she would not give Frank and


    herself a chance to settle the score.


    She said, "You have no bargaining chips. First, let Bene over."


    Frank nced at n, who stepped aside.


    Ben moved to the window.


    He and Simone lowered Grandma down.


    The sky outside was overcast with thunder rumbling.


    "Bring Bethany over."


    Ben obeyed Simone''s instructions.


    I vaguely saw adder swaying near the window.


    Then, a safety rope was thrown in.


    "Put this on her."


    Benplied.


    After delivering Bethany, he attached the safety rope and buckle to Simone and himself.


    He climbed thedder first, waiting.


    Simone suddenly pushed Grandma out of the window, and the helicopter immediately flew away!


    Frank, seemingly anticipating this, quickly caught Grandma. I rushed over to check on her condition.


    Her eyes had no focus, and she did not respond when called.


    &


    Frank ced Grandma back on the bed, called for a doctor, and after giving a few instructions to n, he rubbed his weary temples and apologized to me.


    "I''m sorry. I didn''t make proper arrangements, and I arrived toote."


    "You arranged things very well," I said.


    Frank couldn''t spend twenty-four hours a day doing nothing but apanying me and watching over Grandma.


    And despite me being with Grandma, such things still happened.


    I shook my head. "You are not at fault. It''s my mistake.


    Frank seemed to fear this and frowned. "Don''t me yourself for everything."


    "It''s my fault this time. I was careless."


    Even though I had suspicions, I still apanied Grandma to the hospital.


    "That wasn''t something you could control."


    Frank advised, "No matter how cautious you are, you wouldn''t have expected Ben to use this method, exploiting Grandma''s feelings for him and his mother." He was right.


    I could not have imagined that Ben would disregard his own mother''s life for the sake of money.


    "Frank."


    Frank looked at me, "Yes, what is it?"


    I held back tears, gritted my teeth, and said, "The Shaw family cannot be given to Ben. I want Simone to pay the price for her actions."
